Talk:Infinity Stones

Table
Can someone please edit the table to indicate where each stone goes on the Infinity Gauntlet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordApofisu (talk • contribs) 21:10, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

I feel like this is unneeded
Most of the information seems like it should be put on the Infinity Gems page, just in a new subsection. We don't have pages for every incarnation of each comic book character, so why should objects be treated any different? Booger-mike (talk) 21:42, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It was a major part of the Infinity Saga and there is plenty of info to warrant its own page as opposed to being a subsection on the Infinity Gems page. You're right about not having pages for every incarnation of characters, but more and more have been getting articles in the last couple years for both Marvel and DC, and that's gonna continue, especially with MCU characters. -- Zoo (talk) 01:03, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If the Stones were a character, they would easily pass WP:MCUCHARACTERS. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:00, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Space Stone appearance
The Space Stone's first appearance is written as Captain America: The First Avenger but this is wrong. It should be Thor (2011) as in mid-credit scene, Fury recruits Erik Selvig and shows him the Tesseract (containing the Space Stone). Seaweed Brain1993 (talk) 04:01, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * The link to "Tesseract" in the lead goes nowhere, just to another section of this article where the tesseract is mentioned again. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric

Tesseract
The first Marvel appearance of the tesseract was in the first Captain America movie, not Thor. I'm not gonna remember to come back and change it in 4 days. Can someone else do it? Hsnineteen (talk) 02:29, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The object appears in the Thor post-credits scene. See Thor (film) and its respective footnote. —El Millo (talk) 18:39, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

MacGuffins
The Infinity Stones are absolutely not MacGuffins! A MacGuffin is insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself. It does not, for example, wipe out half the universe. Depiliatory (talk) 00:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Ultron is also the owner of the Stones
I ask the editors of the article to point out in the card that Ultron, in addition to Thanos, Iron Man, etc. from the What If...? series also owned all the Infinity Stones, making him the owner of all 6 Stones. Thank you. Dan watcher 32 (talk) 21:40, 7 September 2023 (UTC)


 * The infobox only covers the main MCU universe, not characters who are in possession of the Stones in the multiverse. --  ZooBlazer talk 23:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Then we should exclude Dr. Strange, who had all the Infinity Stones sealed by the Watcher only in the TV series What If...?, from the list which doesn't apply to the main MCU line. In fact, you could just put the What If...? version in parentheses, and that's it... Dan watcher 32 (talk) 23:15, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It likely refers to him being in possession of the Time Stone for an extended period of time. Either way, I think it would be best to just remove this, as none of these characters actually owned the Infinity Stones. Thanos had them for like a day or two, Banner and Stark had them for seconds. —El Millo (talk) 00:00, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I concur. None of these characters "owned" the Infinity Stones, per say, and I don't think there is enough verification to support this statement. I don't see the other parameters lending an alternative, either. Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:11, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, nah, that information's not gonna hurt. Here's the problem, though. The infobox lists the custodians of all six stones, and Strange didn't own six stones in the main MCU.... If he did, then add Vision, Nova Corps, Collector, Red Skull, etc. That's not true, so if we're going to talk about the mainline, note that there were only 4 owners: Thanos, Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America (the latter sent the Stones to their realities, which effectively makes him the keeper). Dan watcher 32 (talk) 03:37, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * None of them necessarily "owned" the Stones, and that is not supported by the sources in the article and is subjective. It is best to remove that parameter and let the summary and descriptions cover who had and used which Stone when and where. Trailblazer101 (talk) 03:44, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * But that's not owning, briefly (some very briefly) possessing or using an item isn't owning it, and the more characters added there the more trivial and cluttered it gets. —El Millo (talk) 03:44, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
